Situation 1:
Official counts 5 for each team and administers the throw-in. After about 30 seconds of action, A6 commits a PC/charging foul.
Table informs the official that A6 had entered during live play immediately prior to receiving the pass.
Was he a legal player? What sort of foul do you charge?

Not a legal player as each team may only have FIVE legal players at any one time. So this is a technical foul. I would ignore the play itself and simply charge the team T for having more than five team members participating.
BTW that very rule and T demonstrates the inability of trying to apply your citation to such situations. If the ball of dead for a throw-in and then play was restarted with one team having six on the court, your citation would make them all legal players. That cannot be the case.
